Sonoma Raceway and the Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance have teamed up to bring car enthusiasts a complete weekend of historic motorsports and classic cars. Car enthusiasts will enjoy car-centric activities in multiple North Bay venues as the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival at Sonoma Raceway and the Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance share the stage during the Wine Country Classics weekend, May 18-19.

The Historics, which will honor Corvette as its featured marquee, will host nearly 400 historic machines on the twisting road course both Saturday and Sunday, as well as the popular Wine Country Pavilion, with samples of fine food and wine from the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Fans will also enjoy car club displays and an open garage area to get an up-close look at the historic machines. For more information, visit www.racesonoma.com/historics or www.generalracing.com.
